Friendly on Chief's radar?

So I noticed in the E3 2012 campaign trailer that when chief is walking through the first part of the mission, there is a yellow dot on his radar (specifying a friendly AI or player). Now the chances are it’s just one of those stingray creatures (which is interesting because other animals like Halo: Reach’s Moa did not show up on radars) or is it a marine/personnel from infinity???

It’s weird how the dot disappears at one point before it fully leaves the radar.

It’s only me stalking chief for an autograph.

On a more serious note I didn’t notice.

I also noticed that now there are arrows attached to the dots which show if enemies/friendlies are higher, lower or on the same level as you.

OT: I think its more likely to be neutral AI rather than a friendly.

After that Elite got desintegrated you can see at the top left of the screen a tiny orb dissapearing, it could be that.

Or it could be one of those flying sting rays

I just presumed it was an “unknown”. Whatever technology is used for Chief’s radar we know what a Covenant signature is; so it comes up as red on the radar. We know the UNSC signature so they come up as green… and everything else is yellow (ie unknown)

guess we’ll find out in November :slight_smile:
